Ling Hengyu looked at Ling Shuya, whose face was filled with guilt, and sighed, "The Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill is a very peculiar pill. No matter how serious the pain is, it won't show any symptoms within ninety-nine days. Even if one has consumed poison, they won't die;. however, on the hundredth day, all the toxins and pain will fully manifest. It can be said that if the effects of the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill are not neutralized by the hundredth day, then not even immortals can save them."

Upon hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu, as well as everyone present, all gasped.

Ling Shuya and Shen Qiuyu finally understood why, after taking the pill, Qin Yulu seemed to have improved, but that was not a real improvement. In reality, it was the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill taking effect. Like a vessel, the pill collected and stored all the maladies within the body, and then at a specific time, it unleashed them all at once, leaving the person in a state of no return, facing certain death.

"Yulu!"

Ling Shuya immediately ran towards Qin Yulu's room. By this time, perhaps because Ye Xiao had been there, Qin Yulu was awake, looking at Ye Xiao in bewilderment.

"Ye Xiao, why are you looking at me like that? It's as if I'm about to die," Qin Yulu said humorously. Right now, she felt extremely comfortable, almost as if she were back to before being struck with the cold poison—it really felt amazing.

Ye Xiao, seeing Qin Yulu's smiling face, felt the pain in his heart intensify. Qin Yulu was still unaware of the earth-shattering changes that had happened to her body.

Walking into Qin Yulu's room, Ling Shuya nearly dropped to tears upon seeing her.

Shen Qiuyu was there too, and although she didn't speak, her expression looked like someone carrying a heavy burden.

Not only that, several girls from the Seven-colored Lamp organization, including Wang Luoxin, Cheng Yun, and Purple Flame, also came over.

The room wasn't small to begin with, but now with so many girls there, it suddenly seemed a lot more crowded.

"What's going on with you all? Could it be that I'm really about to die?" Qin Yulu observed everyone's expressions and felt that something was amiss, yet she still managed to laugh and say, "Even if I really were about to die, there's no need for this, right? Besides, I'm not dead yet, am I?"

"I'm sorry, Yulu, I'm the one who harmed you!"

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Qin Yulu became even more perplexed. She was utterly baffled as to why Ling Shuya was apologizing to her, saying that she had harmed her. How had she harmed her, exactly?

"Shuya, are you okay?" Qin Yulu inquired, looking at Ling Shuya curiously.

Before Ling Shuya could speak, Ye Xiao gently took hold of Qin Yulu's fair hand.

With so many people around, Ye Xiao was holding her hand, which truly made Qin Yulu blush. She hastened to break free of Ye Xiao's grasp, but his grip was strong, and she couldn't escape it.

Just then, Ye Xiao's voice sounded slowly: "Lu Lu, I will definitely not let anything happen to you. I want you to live a long life with me, not just to a hundred years, but for hundreds of years!"

After speaking, Ye Xiao gently kissed the back of Qin Yulu's hand, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Qin Yulu was startled by Ye Xiao's unexpected act, and somewhat dumbfounded, she really didn't quite understand what was going on!

Ye Xiao left the room, and Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, Wang Luoxin, and others stayed inside, slowly talking with Qin Yulu.

Ye Xiao returned to the living room and collapsed onto an individual sofa next to Ling Hengyu. Spotting cigarettes on the table, he immediately picked one up—paying no attention to the brand—lit it, and inhaled deeply several times!

"Ye Xiao!" Ling Hengyu could tell that Ye Xiao was somewhat upset, so he tried to console him.

Weei Jie sat on the side, switching his gaze between Ye Xiao and Ling Hengyu, not saying anything, only feeling helpless since after all, it was their young lady who had done this.

About ten or so seconds later, Ye Xiao finished the cigarette and said dispassionately, "No one is to blame for this. If it wasn't for the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill last night, perhaps Lu Lu would already be dead. The power of the cold poison is not something an ordinary girl can withstand."

"You have an idea?" Weei Jie looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Heaven and earth have their timings, yin and yang counteract each other, poison is yin, since it is yin, I'm sure there must be a way to neutralize it."

Ling Hengyu nodded his head, he was in strong agreement with Ye Xiao's words.

"But this Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill, so far, I haven't heard of anyone who can detoxify it." Ling Hengyu said, "The Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill is cold in nature, it was originally placed together with the Fire Yang Pill to conceal the thermal energy of the latter. Who would have thought..." Ling Hengyu felt very ashamed now, everyone's life had been saved, but Qin Yulu was in mortal danger. The care shown by Ye Xiao for Qin Yulu showed that he indeed cared deeply for her.

Ye Xiao said, "Uncle Ling, since the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill is yours, then you must certainly know the source of this pill. With the source, it should be much easier to find a detoxification method."

"This... um, Ye Xiao, we should talk in the study," Ling Hengyu said, suddenly standing up.

Hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Ye Xiao was very surprised, but at this moment, Ling Hengyu had already headed upstairs, and Ye Xiao thought about it and immediately followed.

In the study!

"Ye Xiao, I know you have a lot of doubts right now, even feeling like you're always in a trap," Ling Hengyu said.

Ye Xiao hadn't expected Ling Hengyu to voice his inner thoughts at this time. Since Ling Hengyu had mentioned it, Ye Xiao didn't hide it any longer and nodded, "That's right!"

"Good, since it's like that, I'll clear up some of your confusion!" Ling Hengyu said earnestly, "Half a month ago, I told you that I don't know where your parents are now, and that's the truth, I really don't know. There's a person in Bird City named Wu Laoliu who does know, and that's also true."

"You should know what I mean when I say I feel like I'm in a trap!" Ye Xiao looked at Ling Hengyu.

Ling Hengyu sat down, lit a cigarette, and said, "It was your mother's wish. I had met your mother once, and she hoped that you would surpass your own father because only then will you truly be safe. I can tell you, there are many powerful enemies in this world that you don't know about; your mother's name, your father's name, and your name—if people in the Martial Arts World make the connection, that will be your doom. You've learned the Mad God Skill now, but the Mad God Skill isn't omnipotent. If one of those terrible enemies appears, you would turn to dust with just a sneeze. The best I can tell you is to follow the clues slowly, don't rush things. If you were to meet your parents now, it would be the time for your whole family to confront death together."

This was the first time Ling Hengyu had spoken to Ye Xiao like this. Hearing it, Ye Xiao was tremendously shocked. He had never imagined his parents were such formidable people. However, it now seemed that while his parents were indeed powerful, they also had many even more powerful enemies.

Even though Ye Xiao usually appeared confident, at this moment, when Ling Hengyu put it that way, and he listened, Ye Xiao truly felt a sense of powerlessness. Based on what Ling Hengyu said, the enemies were so strong that Ye Xiao did not stand the slightest chance of defeating them.

Ye Xiao felt like he was Tang Sanzang on the journey to the West, unable to obtain the true scriptures before reaching complete merit.

Ye Xiao also understood that the only way to truly find his parents would be for his own strength to surge to a level not even he dared believe possible, just as he had never thought before that he could fight against an Earth Rank expert.

"Are my parents really that amazing?" Ye Xiao murmured in wonder.

Looking at Ye Xiao, Ling Hengyu chuckled and said, "He's a person like a god; his weakness isn't a lack of strength, but that he didn't cultivate his own Royal Forest Army. If he had his own Royal Forest Army, then your father could stand at an untouchable pinnacle."

Listening to Ling Hengyu, Ye Xiao felt like this was a joke, but he knew Ling Hengyu wouldn't joke about such a matter. Smiling slightly, he looked at Ling Hengyu and said, "Okay, Uncle Ling, I get it. But you still haven't told me about the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill."

"The Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill and the Fire Yang Pill were given to me by Wu Laoliu. Originally, both these pills were intended for you—the Fire Yang Pill to save your life in case of serious injury, and the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill was to be taken when there was absolutely no way to save you. Because after taking the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill, you would have ninety-nine days to live. During that time, Wu Laoliu meant for you to go find him to stay alive."

"He has the antidote to the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill?" Ye Xiao was surprised to hear Ling Hengyu's words.

Ling Hengyu said, "Possibly, he only said to find him after you've taken the Hundred-Day Soul-breaking Pill, but whether he has the antidote or not, I don't know. Of course, I hope there is one."

Hearing Ling Hengyu's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly. Wasn't this a bit ridiculous? Whether there was an antidote was another matter entirely.

Ye Xiao said, "So about what you mentioned earlier, that we could learn about my parents' whereabouts from Wu Laoliu, is that still true?"
